I'm pretty sure Lemar is a natural OLB. He was just more suited to play MLB then Arrington, Holdman, and Washington

washington can play MLB pretty well (from GW's interviews), but he can get more sacks etc from the outside position (something lemar couldn't do as well cause he has more trouble shedding blocks).

If we do take a MLB/ILB guy in this draft, he's going to HAVE to play OLB, cause the chances he learns the checks and calls for GW while also learning the NFL (while we're trying to win) are fairly slim. At least for the first year.

That's what I'm saying. I know it wasn't very clear, but what I was saying was that we would have to move Marshall back outside, otherwise we'd have 2 LBs playing out of position.

Ok, yeah, I agree
